Welcome to the latest episode of A Shot of Melanin, where we delve into the 2023 Netflix documentary "The Black Beauty Effect" with our insightful guests, Patrice Dennis and Semone Vassell.
In Episode 1, "The Beat Effect," we embark on a journey through the evolution of the makeup industry. From its humble beginnings to its present-day inclusivity, we explore how makeup brands have adapted to cater to people of color. Our discussion delves into personal experiences with makeup and the influential role of social media influencers in shaping beauty standards.
Moving on to Episode 2, "The Skin Effect," we tackle the crucial topic of skincare in the black community. We confront the age-old question: does black crack? Sharing our own skincare routines, we reflect on the invaluable lessons passed down from our mothers. Through nostalgia and personal anecdotes, we explore the significance of skincare beyond mere aesthetics.
Finally, in Episode 3, "The Crown Effect," we journey through the rich history of black hair. From the days of the press and the infamous "creamy crack" to the empowering natural hair movement, we examine the profound impact of hair on black identity. Opening up about our own hair journeys, we celebrate the diverse expressions of black beauty.
Join us as we unpack the multifaceted layers of black beauty and empowerment in Netflix's "The Black Beauty Effect" .
